| Abstract | Fix to correct the flagging of pixels as atmospherically corrected. |
| Problem Statement | Flagging pixels as atmospherically corrected had been done accurately except for pixels above the terminator (solar zenith values of 85 degrees or more). As of v5.3.8, these pixels are flagged correctly. |
| Description of Change | Reinstatement of code which checks for solar zenith value prior to setting the "atmospherically-corrected" bits in the QA pixels. |
| Products Affected | L2 Land Surface Reflectance (MOD09) |
| Software Affected | PGE11 |
| Processing String to Receive the Change | Terra Reprocessing |
| Downstream Product Effects | Land L3+ |
| Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing | All granules from data day 2000-065. |
| Justification | This change to the code improves the flagging of data as atmospherically corrected or not, which is crucial to all further implementation of the data by downstream products. |
| Effective Date for Implementation of Change | Data day 2002-055 for C5 Terra Reprocessing. |
| Status | PI approved. Sadashiva Devadiga approved for Land, Vincent Salomonsom approved on 08/24/06 |
